...four in green numerals down a column. Beside them is a drawing of how the parachute opens during each of these first four seconds. In an imperceptibly more alarming color, purple maybe, are the numbers five and six. Farther down are an enflamed red and yellow twelve and fifteen. Furthest down is a deep magenta seventeen...
